I had been wanting this set since it first came out. I thought the characters looked so great. When we spotted the set at TJ Maxx back before Christmas for only $3.99,I was going to grab one up. Ken steered me away,and then threw me off the scent by not giving it to me for Christmas. I was a bit surprised on my birthday,which is what Ken aims for in gift giving,so we were both happy.
The other gift was from Ivy. She ordered it and it arrived back in late January. I was told to lay it aside until my birthday.
It's an actual working tiny pocket knife, and it IS sharp.
When I was a kid,about 10 I think, I wanted a pocket knife. I wanted to try carving. I kept asking my dad for a knife,but he kept saying no. Finally, he asked me for a penny,and I gave him one. In return he gave me a pocket knife. It was the dullest thing ever, and I'm not so sure Dad didn't dull it on purpose before he 'sold' it to me. So I never really managed to carve anything.
As for the penny, Dad always said you should never give anyone a knife, because it 'cuts love'. It must have been a superstition from when he was a kid in Kentucky. So that's why he made me give him the penny. That way he wasn't 'giving' me the knife. So I guess I owe Ivy a penny.
Speaking of Ivy, I'm off early in the morning to go to Indiana to pick Ivy up from college. It will be nice to have her home for a while. Since I'll be gone all day,tomorrow will probably be a quick post. And since I'm late to bed already, so will today's.
Today's doll is this mystery baby.
I can't tell you much about it. It's hollow plastic.
And it's almost 2 1/4 inches long. He has molded hair detail. His paint job is a little scary, especially with that mouth that looks like he's been eating raw meat! No markings on him. Anybody seen one of these before?
See you again tomorrow.
